Hello and thanks for donating
Is this a fusible link or a regular fuse? The only 20 amp fuse I see for this vehicle is the fuse for the heater circuit which would not effect the fuel pump. Is it the fuel pump relay that you speak of getting hot? If so then there must be some wiring to the fuel pump that is damaged / bare and grounding out, that wiring will need to be inspected and, if necessary, replaced.
